Tablet: Mariko

Here we have Mariko... I wonder sometimes why she doesn't have more mental problems. I mean, she was born of the two evil people in the story, found abandoned in the forest, was raised by the Sendo... then has a sudden relapse of conscience and starts following Hitori around and being a good guy.

I don't know about the rest of you, but this would surely make me a little bit confused!

Mariko's eyes were decidedly hazel from the beginning, but her hair color was up in the air (all it said was dark), so I made her hair the same color as Hitori's. Why? Well, I kinda wanted to help out on one of those unexplained "wtf?" moments explained in the wiki. The whole "Aiko looks like Hitori? (and Aiko is supposed to look like Mariko's twin)" one. You guys know which one that is, right? It's a pretty big hole to fall in...

Well, anyways, I wanted to make it a bit easier to see them as looking alike, so I made their hair the same color. So now Hitori and Mariko share the same hair color, and although I haven't drawn Aiko yet, I plan on her having the same dark blue hair and red eyes so they're similar to Hitori's (Hitori's are pink).

Fun times, yeah? ^_^ So anyways, I decided to draw her here in her confused, "am I good or am I evil", stage...

You know... I'm still surprised Lana isn't like... trying to convert Mariko to the dark side or something... I mean, she IS the 'consumation' of Lana and Layou's love, isn't she? Oh well, Lana's evil... can't understand evil sometimes.
